Westlife singer Shane Filan and Irish hockey international Katie Mullan are among the stars added to this year’s Amgen Irish Open Pro-Am at Royal County Down.
Mr Filan and Ms Mullan, who hails from Coleraine, will join a stellar line-up including RTÉ Late Late Show presenter Patrick Kielty, former rugby players Johnny Sexton and Tommy Bowe, and actor James Nesbitt, who will all take to the course on 11 September.
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy will also tee off at Royal County Down this September, where he will bid for a second Irish Open crown after claiming victory at The K Club in 2016.
Also joining Rory at the Amgen Irish Open is 2019 Open Championship winner Shane Lowry, three-time Major Champion Pádraig Harrington, two-time PGA TOUR winner Séamus Power, and Northern Irishman Tom McKibbin, who will make his third appearance at the event. Further names are to be announced in the coming weeks.
Royal County Down will host the Amgen Irish Open for the second time in its history from 11 to 15 September as the island of Ireland’s national open returns to Newcastle for the first time since 2015.
Paul Gillmon, Championship Director of the Amgen Irish Open said: “I would encourage everyone to join us at the Amgen Irish Open this September as it promises to be an exciting and memorable event for all attendees.”
